TROUBLESHOOTING
If you smell gas or notice something wrong
with LP-Gas equipment during operation,
immediately stop the truck in a safe area, turn
the key switch to the (OFF) position, close
the fuel valve of the LP-Gas tank, and try to
find the cause. (It is advisable to have a test kit
on hand for detecting gas leakage.)
If the internal pressure of the LP-Gas tank
rises too high and causes the relief valve to
open to let out the excess pressure, sprinkle
water over the tank. At the same time, extin-
guish any fire or flame source (such as a pilot
light) and eliminate the possibility of creating
sparks near the truck. Ventilate the work
area.
When gas leakage is evident, close the fuel valve
as soon as possible. Extinguish the fire or flame
sources nearby to prevent spark conditions.
There is a possibility of fire after a collision or
when a truck turns over. If this happens, close
the LP-Gas fuel valve of the LP-Gas tank as
soon as possible.
Use a dry-chemical (powder) or carbon diox-
ide type extinguisher. Never use water. When
possible, however, have large quantities of
water poured over the LP-Gas tank to cool it
down while the fire is being extinguished.
